26。 Three seconds is an awkward time, it's hard to control the tempo, and it will leave the opponent with a chance to attack anyway.

D'Antoni decided to schedule a seven-second run, and as long as he hit a two-point shot, he had a chance to win, and if he didn't score, he would have used a foul tactic early. He also considered whether to bring on Pekovic. If he gets a misplaced opportunity to cover without the ball under the basket, his strong attack is still guaranteed. But Pekovic is too slow, and if he doesn't score, he risks being beaten into a counterattack.

D'Antoni didn't send Pekovic after all, but fortunately he didn't, otherwise the major radio commentators might have said, "Why didn't Pekovic go earlier?" ”

Moreover, Pekovic sat on the bench for too long, his body was cold, and he couldn't guarantee his condition on the court.

The Knicks are still the main force just now. Now they don't have foul trouble, Stadamyre and Matthews have 4 fouls, so they don't have to worry about being sent off. The tactics are very simple, everyone pulls away, Stadameyer is in the low post, and Zhou Xuan is singles on the outside. Zhou Xuan also scored a lot today, with 19 points, and D'Antoni believes he can shoot.

Thibodeau arranges players to defend the outside line, and the formation is expanded outward as much as possible, and the three points must be guarded well. Zhou Xuan may not be able to shoot at the last moment, he is likely to pass the ball, and scoring a three-point at this time is very beneficial to the Knicks, but it is a two-point shot, and the Bulls still have a chance to kill. The game was slightly better against the Bulls, but it wasn't a sure win.

The pause ended quickly.

Su Qun said: "The Knicks must score this offense, and they have to prevent an attack from the Bulls, and I don't know who will attack." ”

Yang Jian said: "It's not Zhou Xuan, it's Stadamire, the Knicks didn't make a substitution. Here we go. ”

Gallinari sent the throw-in, Zhou Xuan relied on Anderson's off-ball cover to get rid of Rose, got the basketball on the right side, and everyone pulled away. Rose bypassed Anderson, and the two were in position.

"Defend! Defend! The audience shouted. This is a contest between ace point guards, and it is also the first time that Zhou Xuan has officially singled out Rose in this game.

The two kept their distance, Zhou Xuan didn't plan to find a block, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ross knew that Zhou Xuan rarely smiled on the field, this smile made him upset, this goal could not be missed, but he couldn't guess how Zhou Xuan would attack.

The heart is in turmoil, everything is in chaos, and everything is at peace!

Ximen Blowing Snow can wait for Ye Gucheng's heart to calm down, because he disdains to take advantage of people's danger. Zhou Xuan will not, he thinks that a real master should use all factors to disturb the enemy, defeat the opponent in the easiest way, and attacking the heart is also part of the strength.

Rose hesitated for a moment, Zhou Xuan moved, his shoulder leaned to the right, and changed direction to the left. Rose's explosiveness was stronger than Zhou Xuan's, and he kept up with the first step. Zhou Xuan paused, dribbled the ball under the crotch of the middle and handed it to the right hand, Rose's reaction was very fast, and he chose to block the breakthrough route with his legs, Zhou Xuan handed the ball to his left hand, and the center of gravity changed again.

Rose closed his leg and blocked the left side again, Zhou Xuan's feint was not over, he just shook his shoulders, did not change his steps, and dribbled the ball to his right hand behind his back again, accelerating the sprint. His hand movements behind his back are different from others, the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger pluck the ball. The ball has a strong spin and is faster, and it turns directly in front of you, saving you time to adjust.

Even Rose, who is among the best in the NBA in terms of explosiveness, has no way to do anything about this ball, and was completely passed by Zhou Xuan. He didn't reach for a foul either, handing over the defensive task to his teammates.

Zhou Xuan made a quick stop jump shot in front of the 60-degree penalty area line, Noah and Stoudeyer were in the left side of the card before, and now it is too late to let go of people to make up for the defense, and the ball is in. 119 to 118.

"Zhou Xuan is too stable, breaking through the jump shot and entering." Yang Jian shouted.

Su Qun said: "The Bulls also asked for a timeout, and there are still 17 hours left. 8 seconds, there is plenty of time to complete an attack, I don't know if they play a fast break or a goal to decide the winner. ”

Yang Jian said: "Zhou Xuan's current statistics are 21 points and 20 assists, including 15 points and 7 assists in the final quarter, which is a dominant performance, and his statistics have overwhelmed Rose. Rose's 24 points and 14 assists were also great, but his final quarter was mediocre, shooting 2-of-7. ”

Rose walked off the field, his face grim. Thibodeau comforted him and said: "Don't worry, you've defended well, the key is to score the next goal." ”

Thibodeau talked about tactics, he wanted the team to complete an attack quickly, and if he missed, he used foul tactics to send Knicks players to the free throw line. Even if you hit both free throws, you can bet on a three-pointer. So the Bulls kept the pitcher on the floor.

The Knicks arranged a compression defensive strategy, guarding Korver and Lore Deng from the perimeter, Deng hit three three-pointers and Korver four today.

After the start of the game, Rose broke through the block, the Knicks formation immediately contracted, Rose burst into points, Korver made a strong three-point shot and missed, and the key rebound was picked up by substitute power forward Gibson.

Gibson replaced Boozer at a critical moment in order to strengthen the defense, but because Zhou Xuan chose to go head-to-head, there was no use. He can continue to stay on the court because of his enthusiasm to fight for rebounds in the front court. In recent seasons, Boozer's frontcourt rebounds have been on a downward trend. Thibodeau was right.

Anderson lost the backcourt rebound again, but fortunately he knew how to make amends, and before Gibson could get up, he fouled and sent the opponent to the free throw line.

Gibson shot just 64 from the free-throw line last season. 6%, which is not much stronger than "Warcraft" Howard. In the final moments, he was under a lot of pressure and missed the first penalty. The second free throw bounced off the basket and landed in the net. 119 to 119, another draw.

Joanbari laughed, "There are 10 more. Four seconds are left for the Knicks, and they can play an offense. The advantage is on their side, as long as they calculate the time, they don't score and don't give the Bulls a chance to fight back. ”

Van Gundy said: "I think the last attack is likely to be Zhou Xuan's shot, and he is very sure of the key shot in the Warriors." The Bulls also had to prevent him from breaking through the ball. ”

D'Antoni did not ask for a timeout, let Zhou Xuan adjust himself, and if he called a timeout, it would give the Bulls time to set up their tactics.

Thibodeau previously arranged for Ross to defend Zhou Xuan, although the people on one side were to assist in defense, Noah did not go out under the basket, and was responsible for resisting people and blocking. Stadameyer can't let go.

Rose and Korver pressed forward, and Zhou Xuan, with the help of Gallinari, took 5 seconds to lead the half court, controlled the ball steadily, and everyone else pulled away.

There's no way I'm going to let you go again! Rose dodged the coverer and stepped forward, forcing Zhou Xuan to the periphery. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball horizontally, and he didn't have time to give a code to his teammates. However, at the critical moment, the Knicks players chose to trust Zhou Xuan, and Anderson and Stoudamire consciously came out to cover and blocked Rose and Lore Deng, who switched defenses.

At the same time, Gallinari and Matthews ran together outside the three-point line and completely evacuated the inside. The Bulls' joint defense is the bottom line of the two-person defense, and now that the Knicks are all five on the periphery, they can't defend themselves.

Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side and faced Noah. Noah followed very tightly, and he didn't raise his hand, just to prevent a breakthrough, as long as Zhou Xuan shot, with his figure and explosiveness, he could step forward to interfere.

Zhou Xuan was thinking about who is the person who is defending Stadameyer now, and who is the person who is defending Anderson. Will the Bulls wrap him up at this time? He thinks that he will not be trapped, because it is too risky, the last attack, and the score is even, there is no reason to strictly prevent one person from letting go of the pitcher, and none of his four teammates can be free at will. Now he can go head-to-head with Noah.

Zhou Xuan calculated this correctly, dribbled the ball until the right baseline and made an emergency stop, protected the ball with his back, used his right foot as the axis, and shook it in the direction of Matthews outside the three-point line on the right.

In Noah's opinion, Zhou Xuan was too deep and had no room for good shooting, and while raising one arm to interfere, part of his attention was on Stadamier, worried that he would cut in the middle, and the defenders on the periphery were also shaken.

Zhou Xuan did not pass the ball, but stepped forward with his left foot, turned quickly to his right side, opened the distance with Noala, handed the ball to his left hand and jumped with all his strength, and when he used his right half of his body as a block, he leaned over and picked up the basket with his left hand to the middle. Stodameyer didn't cut in the middle, so there was no one to defend.

Noah jumped up on the side, stretched out his right hand to cover it, but couldn't reach Zhou Xuan's left hand. This change of hands is the key to offense, and Zhou Xuan often exercised his left hand when he was in China, and he can go to the basket with both hands.

His wrist plucking motion was very soft, the shot was a little off, it was looking for a board, and after hitting the board, it bumped lightly on the basket and fell into the frame. In the midst of the bumps, the whistle blew at the end of halftime. 121 to 119.

The Knicks players rushed into the arena and cheered. The Bulls' home crowd sighed as the home team tasted the shutout and was reversed by the opponent after leading by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter.

Su Qun shouted: "At the last moment, Zhou Xuan singled out Noah and made a dream step, this turned left hand shot was too perfect, and he easily dodged the block. ”

Yang Jian smiled: "Noah held his head, and he couldn't believe it. Zhou Xuan scored 4 points in a row at the last moment, single-handedly picking out the core of the Bulls' inside and outside lines. With 23 points, 3 rebounds, 20 assists and 3 steals, he completely dominated the game, 17+7 in the final quarter. ”

Su Qun said: "The first time Zhou Xuan won super data was against the Knicks, and now New York fans don't have to worry about him winning luxury data. The Knicks have their own superstar. ”

ESPN commentary seat, Van Gundy said: "Zhou Xuan once again dedicated to the lore, he is simply the number one heart in the league, and he often dares to make moves in the last few seconds, which is too powerful." ”

Joan Barry smiled: "Maybe Zhou Xuan can calculate all this, there have been many reports that he is a genius, a professional Chinese chef level cooking, easily passed the piano grade 8, is also good at playing darts, and studies movies with Hollywood directors, for him, maybe it is very easy to calculate the attack time." ”

D'Antoni hugged Zhou Xuan and cheered with the players. He felt like he was back in the 2004-2005 season when he first arrived with the Suns, full of energy. He knows very well that the Knicks are going to rise!
